Overview
The Department of Chemistry offers a wide variety of undergraduate courses and programs
in chemistry to prepare students for careers in chemistry and to provide the chemical
understanding required for a variety of other fields. The degree awarded is a Bachelor
of Science in Chemistry. In order to achieve this, the faculty strives to establish
and maintain a program of excellence that provides foundations and support for several
different concentrations including: (1) the General Chemistry Concentration that includes
selection of courses tailored towards pre-professional career choices, such as, pre-medicine,
or pre-pharmacy; (2) ACS Certified Professional Concentration in Chemistry that is
accredited by the American Chemical Society. The ACS certified concentration requires
additional advanced coursework and hands-on experience in laboratory research; and
(3) the Forensic Chemistry Concentration which includes a significant component of the
General BS degree in chemistry requirements and a set of approved core of courses
in biology and criminal justice. A minor in chemistry can be earned after completion
of 18 or more credit hours of 200 level and above courses in chemistry.
